Our beautiful, newly renovated little cottage is situated on a quiet cobbled street in the heart of Veliko Tarnovo's old town, close to the historic Samovodska Charshiya (Craftsmen's Bazaar). The accommodation has fabulous views over the Tsarevets medieval fortress and is the perfect location for watching the famous VT sound and light shows. Within a couple of minutes walk of all VT's best restaurants, the accommodation comprises open-plan kitchen / dining- / living-room with sofa bed on the ground floor, and on the first floor a double bedroom, shower room with toilet and a balcony. The cottage has an unmetered broadband internet connection included in the price for guests bringing their own laptop.
 

Bulgaria's medieval capital is a vibrant treasure-trove of history and culture, a perfect place for enjoying a city-break as well as a base for exploring the surrounding area.
VT itself is simply a great place to spend time. Explore cobbled streets and lanes; wonder at the gorgeous Bulgarian revival architecture and the amazing setting of the old town perched on precipitous rock faces overlooking the River Yantra; be surprised by monuments, churches, craft workshops and house museums; take a stroll around the Tsarevets fortress by day, and if you are lucky see it gloriously illuminated in the fantastic sound-and-light show by night; while away an evening in a traditional restaurant, spending hours over a delicious meal Bulgarian-style; and at the end of your holiday wonder how come you still have so much money left!
 

Within five minutes walk of the cottage are VT's best restaurants and bars as well as the craftsmen's and artists' studios of the Samovodska Charshiya. The Tsarevets medieval fortress is ten minutes walk away, while serious walkers need only to go to the top of the street where they will find the start of a breathtaking eco-trail leading to a small monastery tucked away in the hills (3-4 hours walk; less than 2 hours back if you choose to come via the road).
If you are hiring a car, Bulgaria's historic heartland offers something to suit almost every taste. Famous and culturally vibrant old towns sit proudly amidst an exquisite, dramatic and ever-changing landscape that is peppered with a myriad of small villages and hamlets where deep-rooted rural traditions and lifestyles live on. Historic villages with architectural reserve status are within easy reach (Arbanasi - 10 minutes; Bozhentsi - 50 minutes). Several monasteries which have played a key role in preserving Bulgarian culture over the centuries are also close by (these include Kapinovo and Dryanovo monasteries, both less than half an hour away). Meanwhile the towns of Tryavna, Gabrovo (including the fascinating ethnographic complex of Etara), Lovech, Troyan (with its magnificent monastery) and Elena are all easily accessible and well worth visiting.
